Best stationery shops in Dubai at a glance

Table: Ten useful stationery shops in Dubai Source: official retailer information and LifeAtDubai editorial review, checked October 2026

1. Altimus

Best for: a broad office catalogue, business procurement and online ordering.

Altimus sells stationery, paper, filing products, writing instruments, office technology and workplace essentials. Its online catalogue is useful when you already know the product or brand you need, while business customers can enquire about recurring and bulk supply.

Before visiting, confirm whether the item is stocked at the Dubai showroom or is online/warehouse stock. See the official Altimus website for the current catalogue and contact details.

2. MESCO

Best for: art materials, school stationery, office basics and technical drawing supplies.

MESCO is a long-established Dubai stationery name on Abu Baker Al Siddique Road in Deira. It is particularly useful when you want to compare pens, paper, paint, canvases, geometry tools and craft materials in person.

Stock varies by brand and season, so call ahead for specialist art products or school-list quantities. Check the official MESCO website before travelling.

3. Goyals Books and Beyond

Best for: school books, educational resources, children's titles and stationery.

Goyals is a practical stop for families working through a school book or stationery list. Bring the exact title, edition, ISBN or school-issued list: similarly named textbooks can differ by curriculum and year group.

The Bur Dubai shop is convenient for central Dubai, but branch details and stock can change. Verify the closest outlet through the official Goyals website.

4. Oxford Stationery

Best for: notebooks, files, pens and day-to-day school or office purchases.

Oxford Stationery suits shoppers who want common stationery without navigating a large warehouse-style catalogue. It can be a useful local option for last-minute supplies, photocopy paper and basic office consumables.

Because local branch listings and hours change, confirm the exact location and opening time before setting out.

5. Office One

Best for: workplace supplies, office equipment, furniture and company orders.

Office One covers filing, presentation products, shredders, printers, workplace accessories and office furniture. That makes it useful for setting up a home office or buying across several categories on one invoice.

Check delivery thresholds, assembly terms and warranty coverage before ordering larger products. Browse the official Office One website for current availability.

6. Dubai Library Distributors

Best for: families who want school, office, art and educational products under one roof.

Dubai Library Distributors has multiple UAE branches and a wide product mix, including books, bags, educational toys, stationery and art materials. Dubai locations have included Arabian Center and Bin Sougat; always use the official branch finder because mall tenants can change.

See the official Dubai Library Distributors website for live branches and online products.

7. Al Masam Stationery

Best for: practical everyday stationery and small-business needs in and around Deira.

Al Masam is a useful neighbourhood-style option for files, writing tools, paper and routine office consumables. Ask for a written quotation when comparing bulk quantities, and verify the branch location before travel.

8. Rainbow Stationery

Best for: general school and office basics.

Rainbow Stationery is a local choice for notebooks, pens, folders and classroom materials. For a long school list, send it in advance and ask which products are unavailable. Confirm inventory, delivery coverage and operating hours directly.

9. Farook International Stationery

Best for: wholesale enquiries, branded stationery and buyers comparing a large selection.

Farook International Stationery has a long presence in the UAE stationery trade and is often considered for office, school and wholesale requirements. For company orders, request brand, pack size, VAT and delivery terms on the quotation. Use the official Farook website for current contacts.

10. Halwan Stationery

Best for: routine stationery and local convenience.

Halwan Stationery is a practical option for everyday school and office products. Confirm that the exact item is available—especially printer cartridges, specialist paper sizes and curriculum-specific books—before visiting.

How to choose the right stationery shop

• For a school list: send a clear photo or PDF and ask for unavailable items to be marked.
• For art supplies: compare paper weight, paint type, colour code and brand—not only price.
• For office procurement: request a VAT-inclusive quotation showing pack sizes, delivery and returns.
• For printer supplies: take the printer model and cartridge number.
• For urgent purchases: confirm stock and branch hours on the day.
• For online orders: check the delivery area, minimum order and return window.
